our Armv,s Eou,uments.


From the present standpoint of the
world our troops can boast Of offensive
weapons inferior to none; but as regards
the other items of necessary equipment OF
the soldier IN the field we are In worse
than transition state, scarcely any two
companies In the army being uniformly
equipped, and very often two, three, even
four kinds of experimental equipment be-
ing in use at the same time in the same
company. The real anxiety of the war
department TO get the very best, to keep
pace with the most advanced progress OF
the age, Is undoubtedly the prime cause OF
this state of things, but the fact remains
that the opportunities Of inventors and
the kind heartedness Of officials saddles
the army with an ununiformity OF gro
tesque and impracticable bags, boxes and
absurdities Of all kinds.

Of infantry equipped for field service land

fourth had men equipped In all these

regular issue; but however effective the
command might have proved in the field,
its appearance was incongruous, even

TO ADVERTISERS.
The Free Press Recognized by Geo. p.
R0well a. Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.

The we'll known advertising agency Of
Geo. P. .Rowell Il 90. of New York City, have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory fol
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
us to the matter of newspaper circulation.
In the regular issues Of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada Quite
recently, however, they have issued con-
densed list. II gives only the best newspa'
pers ID advertising mediums, and hence if
practically better, because more convenient,
chan their larger Directory. Four-hfths Of
the newspapers of the United States are
practically "counted out" by intelligent ad'
vertisers, who only want to know the oest,
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in the preface well say:
1T Sits the wheat from the chan. 1t di.
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept portion of TINT pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power to bene-
fit which they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
the FREE PBEss is given by this book (see
page 1857 as the advertising medium of San
Marcos aud Hays county, it being the only
one on tile list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers, both at home and
abroad, to this fact.

Martha had intended TO be very digni-
fed and cold, and to show that she did
not need the advice, assistance nor the
love of any of the Hemphill family, after
the visit that Mrs. Hemphill had made,
nnl remembering all that she had said;
but in the presence of Jabez all this heroic
resolution passed away like mist before
the sunshine, and instead of her dlgnified
reserve she put her two plump little hands
before her face and began to sob and cry
OF course Jabez was instantly dis
tressed TO such an extent that he dropped
the dasher into the cllrn and sprang TO
Martha's side; and there he kDelt, and
wiped away her tears, and smoothed the
curly tendrils Of her hair; and before she
knew 1t his strong arm was around her
waist and he had kissed her.

CHRISTMAS MORNING.

Keen blew the wind across the naked void,
Glimmered the snow fields white. -
Aweary with longing, doubt and pain, ...
Iwatched the silent night
All, mel Joy comes and goes, but grief remains
My days shall comfort bring;
But hark! Upon the frosty winter air '>s.
The Christmas chinings ring.
And, like a guilty ghost at breath of dawn,
My coward meanings fly; ~.

Beneath Judea's sky.
And sweeter, clearer, louder, chime on chime,
Ring out, o, happy bells!

A Temple IN Japan.

Starting early one morning from the
Yaami hotel, Koois, delightful place
overlooking the whole city, direct my
jinriksha boy TO take me to the temple OF
Kenninji Let the description OF the gem
eral features of this temple suffice for all,
for they all have certain features In COM
mon. You enter from the street through
high arch of wood made Of two immense
upright pillars and cross piece, which
curves down instead of up and which ex-
tends far beyond the uprights, You
ascend several flights of stone steps, some-
times passing between stone images and
shrlnes and stone lanterns, until you reach
the platform on which the temple proper
stands. Here you remove your shoes, and
perhaps q pair Of slippers will be provided
you. You ascend the short flight OF steps
Immediately in front Of the temple and
find yourself in sort Of wide porch ex-
tending along the whole front Of the edi-
fee and upheld by several rows OF massive
wooden pillars. Behind these Is q row OF
large paneled DOORS extending clear across
the building, but you will find only the
middle two open.
Within you encounter other rows Of
pillars upholding the roof, and behind
these In the exnct center sits the image,
surrounded with the censers and para
phernalia Of the priests and with What
ever attendpnt images thare may happen
to be. Near approach Is prevented by q
wooden railing. A wooden box stands In
front of each image. 1t Is furnished with
wooden Stats across the top, and into Il
are thrown the offerings Of the worshipers,
The grounds of the Kenninji are beauti;
fully laid out In lawns and walks. In the
eastern part of the grounds hangs an old
bell, which for many years lay In tho
river bed, buried In debris. 1t is said
that Ye Sal, an eminent priest, attempted
to have it recovered, but the men were
unable TO move 1t till he cried to them e
shout his name, when, of course, It I'M
medlately became manageable. Cor. New

vne Mu,nmers of scotland.

The rnummers, guisers or guizards oc-
cupied prominent place in all Christmas
in the early history of Scot
land, and this form Of Christmas amuse-
mcnt was evidently survival from the
Roman Saturnalia. In 1877 there were
mummers on Christmas Eve in London.
Later masking, or ''mumming," was for
hidden by royal edict. An old piece of
verse anent the mummers reads:
To shorten winters sadness,
See where the folks with gladness
Disguised are ell a-coming,
Plight wantonly a-mumming,

Whilst youthful sports are lasting,
To feasting turn out fasting.

A MILLION DOLLARS LOSS.
Burning of the Havemeyer Sugar House
at Greenpoint, l.. 4.

Burning of the Havemeyer Sugar House
at Greenpoint, l.. 4.
GREENPOINT, l.. L., June 1.-THE
Havemeyer Sugar Refinery Co.'S sugar
houses at Commercial street and New
ton Creek, were destroyed by fire early
this morning. The buildings, which
carried nearly half an acre of
ground, We're of brick and
were six. eight and ten stories high.
The ten story structures were erected
five years ago at "A cost of 100000 The
contents, consisting of 25,0OO barrels
of refined sugar, 900 gallons liquid
and valuable machinery are a total loss.
They were worth about 100000, and
were insured for about half that amount.
The total loss on buildings is about
5000 900.
Forman Demarest states that the fire
originated in the liquor rooms on the
fourth floor from the explosion of over
heated liquor. The flames spread rapidly
and the two hundred men employed had
barely time to escape. A report was cir
culated that from five to twenty
lives were lost but inquiries show that
only one man is missing. He is sup
posed to be off on a spree somewhere.
The fire was got under control at 4
O'Clock this morning. The adjoining
buildings narrowly escaped destruction.

BENSON. ARIZ., June 1l.-At dark, on
Thursday night, Lieut.. johnson was
only half an hour behind the Indians
who are ON the warpath, but during the
evening they threw him off the track.
The renegades appear to have expert
enced leaders, probably some of Cooks
scouts
NoGALES, ARIZ., June 11.-Indications
continue to strengthen the belief that
the report that only a small number of
Indian renegades are on the warpath is
a mistake, as bands have been seen in
widely different sections of the country
on the same day. A telegram from San
Carlos stating that there are hostiles
in the Santa Catalina mountains has
been received. In the Santa Barbara
and Patagonia mountains, near this
place, am immense fire is raging. which
was no doubt started by the Indians for
the purpose of covering up their tracks.
Yesterday afternoon a report came in to
the effect that Lieut.. McNutt and his
men ustI II IuIiiiIS iiSiit With tiit ie'S-

Eoldier's camp and reported that the
pops ran upon a party of Indians and

TIE country is full of soldiers and it is
almost impossible to see how the raid
can last long.
